When I say. . .I am a Muslim
I’m not shouting " down with Christians and Jews."
I am whispering "I seek peace,"
and Islam is the path that I choose.
When I say. . . I am a Muslim
I speak of this with pride.
And confess that sometimes I stumble,
and need Allah to be my guide.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim
I know this makes me strong.
And in those times when I am weak,
I pray to Allah for strength to carry on.
When I say. . . I am a Muslim
I’m not boasting of success.
I’m acknowledging that Allah has rescued me,
and I cannot ever repay the debt.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim
I’m not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are indeed visible,
but Allah forgives because his followers are worth it.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim
it does not mean I will never feel pain.
I still have my share of heartaches,
which is why I invoke Allah’s name.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim
I do not wish to judge.
I have no such authority
My duty is to submit to Allah’s all-encompassing love
When I say. . .I am a Muslim
I’m not shouting " down with Christians and Jews."
I am whispering "I seek peace,"
and Islam is the path that I choose.
عندما اقول انا مسلم
لست اهتف لتسقط مع المسيح واليهود

عندما اقول انا مسلم
لاادعي المثاليه
بي عيوب بالواقع واضحه

لدي نصيبي من اوجاع بالقلب
واستدعي اسم الله
يا رب

واجبي محبه شامله لله
